# Fixation of Gardens Type 4 Intracapsular Neck of Femur Fracture Using the GS Kulkarni Controlled Dynamic Hip Screw System

## TL;DR

A 50-year-old man with a severe hip fracture was successfully treated using a new dynamic hip screw system, resulting in good recovery.

## Contribution

The paper presents a successful clinical case using the GS Kulkarni controlled dynamic hip screw for Garden Type IV femoral neck fractures.

## Key findings

- The patient achieved bone healing in 14 weeks.
- The patient's Harris hip score improved significantly to 93.65.

## Abstract

The goal for surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures is achieving union through an anatomic reduction and stable fixation while avoiding osteonecrosis. This report describes the case of a 50-year-old male who presented with pain and swelling in his right hip and inability to bear weight over his right lower limb following a road traffic accident. The X-ray revealed a right-sided femoral neck fracture (Garden Type IV and Pauwels Type III). The patient was surgically treated with the GS Kulkarni (GSK) controlled dynamic hip screw. On follow-up, the bone healing time was 14 weeks and the patient achieved a Harris hip score of 93.65 with significant improvement.
